Abstract

The present invention provides a side-mold water spot-cooling device for cooling a casting mold, a manufacturing method thereof and a method for cooling a casting mold by the device. The technical solution of the present invention has the following technical effects: an open-type backwater structure is employed, not only eliminating the back pressure from the backwater process without adding the supercharging equipment, but also reducing the investment costs of the equipment; reducing requirements for the sealing elements, thereby reducing costs for fittings; greatly reducing use of the joints and reducing the manufacturing, maintenance difficulty and costs of the mold; and the structure is substantially the same as that of the air-cooled mold and is easy for promotion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A side-mold water spot-cooling device for cooling a casting mold, comprising:
a spot-cooling device body which is a groove-like structure with a top open and an impounding reservoir defined in the groove-like structure;
a first side of the spot-cooling device body in a length direction is a mold direction side, a first through hole and a second through hole used for securing the device to the mold via screws are opened in the mold direction side;
the other side of the spot-cooling device body in the length direction is a water outlet direction side on which a third through hole, and a backwater port located below the third through hole are opened;
the device further comprises a water inlet main pipe, a water pipe and a water inlet branch pipe; the water inlet main pipe is connected with the water pipe, and the water pipe is connected with the water inlet branch pipe; the water inlet main pipe and the water pipe are installed on the top of a sidewall of the spot-cooling device body in the water outlet direction side; the water inlet branch pipe passes through the first through hole, and the outer diameter of the water inlet branch pipe is smaller than the inner diameter of the first through hole; wherein, the water pipe is fixed on the spot-cooling device body through a water pipe depression bar and a screw third;
the through hole is sealed by a pipe plug, wherein a red copper sealing point is included on an installing surface of the pipe plug; and
a nipple joint is installed outside the spot-cooling device body by the backwater port; wherein, the wall top of the mold direction side is below that of the water outlet direction side, and the center line of the first through hole is below the axis of the water pipe.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the inner diameter of the water inlet main pipe is greater than or equal to twice of that of the water inlet branch pipe.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the inner diameter of the water pipe is greater than or equal to that of the water inlet main pipe.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the inner diameter of the backwater port is greater than or equal to at least twice of that of the water inlet branch pipe.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the water inlet main pipe, the water pipe and the water inlet branch pipe are all stainless steel pipes.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the third through hole and the backwater port are processed into straight-through fine threads.

7. A method for manufacturing the device according to claim 1 , comprising:
processing the spot-cooling device body according to claim 1 , third through hole and a backwater port into straight-through fine threads;
bending a water inlet branch pipe at an angle of 90 degrees twice;
connecting a water inlet main pipe, a water pipe and a water inlet branch pipe together through welding, then installing the same on the spot-cooling device body, installing a water pipe depression bar on the water pipe and fixing the same on the spot-cooling device body through a screw;
fixing the spot-cooling device body on the side mold via the screws through a second through hole and tightening the screws through the through hole;
installing a pipe plug on the third through hole and adding a red copper sealing gasket on the fitting surface; and
installing a nipple joint into the backwater port.

8. A method of cooling a casting mold, comprising:
processing blind holes on a side edge of the casting mold;
installing the device according to claim 1 on the side edge of the casting mold and enabling the water inlet branch pipe to extend into the blind holes;
fixing the device according to claim 1 on the side edge of the casting mold via screws and installing a water outlet pipe on the nipple joint; and
introducing water with a pressure of 0.3-0.6 atm and a temperature of 25-35° C. into the water inlet main pipe for a duration of 70-180 s.
